If it brings convenience to the people, then it's a good thing.
Furthermore, the price of Niumawan only covers the cost; it's not a "business" designed to make money. It was launched to help Qiao Xinruo maintain good physical condition when going on missions.
The sensation caused by Niu Ma Wan was so great that it quickly spread within industries that required maintaining high levels of energy.
Besides being used by doctors, it can also be used by soldiers.
Especially during missions, long-duration missions, or missions requiring prolonged ambushes and surveillance, taking a Niuma Pill when one's energy is low can have an immediate effect. As a result, the military purchased a large quantity of these pills.
Recently, the military has a mission that is not the kind of mission that is easy to complete and can earn you merit and honors.
Logically speaking, Liu Dekai had always scoffed at such missions—he felt they were thankless tasks and that someone like him, who aspired to great things, shouldn't waste his time and energy on them; he should let soldiers with no connections or future prospects take the plunge.
But this time, contrary to his usual behavior, he took the initiative to volunteer to complete it.
"You want to go on that mission in Nanjiang?" Mo Cheng asked, quite surprised.
He knew this task involved reassigning people, but he never even considered giving it to Liu Dekai. After all, Mo Youyou was pregnant, and what Liu Dekai should do most was stay by Mo Youyou's side.
Given that this task is not easy to handle, there is even less reason to send Liu Dekai.
But Liu Dekai insisted on going.
“Dad, I know you mean well, but I haven’t been on a mission in a long time. If this continues…”
Liu Dekai didn't finish his sentence, but Mo Cheng already understood.
Firstly, not taking any missions for a long time will not look good for his personal performance, which will affect his promotion and the competition for excellence, which is certainly not conducive to his development; secondly, everyone is taking on missions to some extent, but there haven't been any "good missions" lately, so he hasn't been taking any for too long, which will also make things difficult for Mo Cheng.
Therefore, it is appropriate to take the initiative at the right time.
At least make your presence known.
"Dad, I don't want to put you in a difficult position," Liu Dekai said, his words extremely flattering, as if he were giving Mo Cheng a mission.
As it turned out, Mo Cheng really thought this kid had a conscience.
Mo Cheng treats his son-in-law differently; wouldn't others notice?
Of course, it was obvious. The lower-ranking soldiers didn't dare to say anything in front of Mo Cheng, not even a sarcastic remark. As for the higher-ranking soldiers, they didn't have the time to keep an eye on these trivial matters every day. Even if they noticed, they would at most remind Mo Cheng not to be too obvious.
Substantial impact? There really wasn't.
However, Liu Dekai took Mo Cheng's situation into consideration and did not want to put him in a difficult position, so Mo Cheng was naturally grateful for this favor.
"The mission in Nanjiang will be very difficult and time-consuming, and it will require an ambush. Whether it will succeed in the end is also unknown. Are you sure you really want to go?" Mo Cheng asked again to confirm.
"Yes!" Liu Dekai nodded, his eyes filled with determination. "Dad, I really want to go. Please assign me to go!"
Since Liu Dekai had already put it this way, Mo Cheng naturally wouldn't stop him, but rather supported his decision.
Furthermore, when reporting to his superiors, he specifically emphasized that Liu Dekai had volunteered to go.
"Just based on this point alone, Comrade Liu Dekai has a very high level of awareness. He knows his responsibilities as a soldier and is willing to take them on!" Mo Cheng said firmly.
The son-in-law took the initiative to accept the task and try to make a good impression, which made his father-in-law proud as well.
When Liu Dekai accompanied Mo Youyou to her parents' home for dinner, he deliberately brought up this matter.
Mo Youyou immediately became a little unhappy.
"I'm pregnant right now. Why did you have to go on a mission now of all times?" Mo Youyou touched her belly, feeling very uncomfortable, and even wondering if Liu Dekai was doing it on purpose.
Because she is pregnant, Mo Youyou has been making Liu Dekai massage her all the time and ordering him around, which makes her suspect that he is unhappy about it.
"Youyou, I need to go on some missions before the baby is born. If I go on missions after the baby is born, won't it be even more tiring for you?"
"Besides, if I don't go on missions, it will be difficult for Dad. I have to think about Dad's situation."
"Also, after our child is born, I hope I can advance further in the military so that I can shoulder the responsibility of raising you and our child!"
These words took into account all aspects.
Even someone with Mo Youyou's personality couldn't find a rebuttal for a moment. She was even a little moved by what she was being said, but she refused to back down verbally.
"Anyway, you just don't care about me..." Mo Youyou turned her head away, actually no longer angry.
Unexpectedly, Mo Cheng actually spoke up for his son-in-law, which was quite rare for him.
“Youyou, you can’t be so willful! Dekai is being ambitious. How can a man protect his wife and children if he doesn’t work hard in his career? You have to support him, why are you holding him back!” Mo Cheng admonished.
Liu Dekai was secretly delighted. He had been married to Mo Youyou for so long, and this was the first time his father-in-law had spoken up for him. How rare!
So, people still need to put on a show sometimes. Look, he put on a show, and even his father-in-law spoke up for him.
“Dad, Youyou isn’t being willful. Women are always more sensitive when they’re pregnant. It was my fault,” Liu Dekai was really into his act, managing to appease both sides perfectly. He then said to Mo Youyou, “Youyou, how could I not feel sorry for you? I just wanted to accumulate more military merits so that my chances of becoming a battalion commander would be greater. I want you and the baby to have a better life!”
"I was just saying, it's nothing..." Sure enough, Mo Youyou's tone softened a lot.
It has to be said that Liu Dekai is talented at coaxing people and is willing to lower himself to do so. How could Mo Youyou not be completely charmed?
Just look at how fiercely the two of them argued over all sorts of trivial matters before, and how many times they turned against each other. But ever since Lu Zhengjun was injured and went through the joyous occasion of Mo Youyou's pregnancy, the two of them have returned to a state of blissful intimacy. One has to admit that they are indeed a "perfect match".
With just a few words, Liu Dekai made this trip back to his wife's family home incredibly worthwhile, further enhancing his image in the eyes of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
"It's getting late, you should head back now. Be careful on the road, Youyou, and take care of yourself!" Mother Mo instructed, and also packed a lot of food for the two of them.
The next day, Liu Dekai went to Nanjiang with the main force to carry out a mission.
Although his initiative was all an act, since he was here, he had to do his job seriously. If he got lucky, he could earn some credit and go home, killing two birds with one stone.
